From: Srivatsa S. Bhat (VMware) <srivatsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit fc64e4ad80d4b72efce116f87b3174f0b7196f8e upstream. max_latency is intended to record the maximum ever observed hardware latency, which may occur in either part of the loop (inner/outer). So we need to also consider the outer-loop sample when updating max_latency.
